I don't know. There are a ton of people doing it on YouTube, which require more than human force to break it.


so idk

If you notice also, when MB did it, it didn't even separate the phone books, but merely ripped it with the metal clamps. That tells me that it tuned sideways enough to rip it - which is easily done by just one person.

I'll have to email my prof. about it to see what she said. She rambled excessively, so I didn't really pay attention to her 80% of the time.

FunkMetalBass 06-26-2009 02:21 PM

My repair/setup guy just called me to tell me that my 8-string should be done today. I'll be so stoked if it is. I've been waiting to try this beast out in practice.

New Gary Goodman strings too - .174 low F#!

I'll let you know how they sound and feel.

Nice. It'll be great. I got my 'Ray back, active and killing again, and lowered action. Can't stop playing.

I've never had a bass professionally set up before (just my acoustic guitars, because I don't know the first thing about saddle filing). I'm pretty excited. He was confused about the tuning for a bit though.

It already sounded pretty badass with the dead strings, bad action, and OBP-3. I bet the new strings and fresh setup completely eliminate my need for my Stingray or my Carvin.

I may even consider playing it at a gig if I wind up in a jazz/fusion setting.

Why wasn't your bass active for a while?

Radiobass81 06-26-2009 02:45 PM

The battery comparment broke. Ernie Ball sent a replacement for free, but once I saw the computerchip-looking electronics (:'(), I decided not to do it myself, and didn't take it to a place until a week ago.

Mr. Pickle 06-26-2009 03:00 PM

I'm going to make an Orange Julius. Who wants one?

FunkMetalBass 06-26-2009 03:09 PM

Me. Damn. That sounds delicious.

I may run over to OJ right now.

Mr. Pickle 06-26-2009 03:10 PM

Dude, don't do it. Want my recipe? Really easy and delicious.



...and none of that raw egg **** you see it all the other recipes.

Sure, what's your recipe?

And I don't have much of a choice because I'm stuck at work for another two hours.

Mr. Pickle 06-26-2009 03:17 PM

6 oz. frozen orange juice

1 cup of water

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup of of sugar

1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract

10 (standard sized) ice cubes


How much ice and how long you blend it really determines how well it turns out, but give it a go. Delish.

FunkMetalBass 06-26-2009 03:21 PM

Did you just experiment around until you found something that you liked or what?

I'm headed to OJ now. I might try that recipe with a bit of tequila and grenadine tonight to make a Tequila Sunrise Julius.

Mr. Pickle 06-26-2009 03:35 PM

Yeah, sort of.


And mix it with Triple sec. You can add like half a bottle and you'll barely notice it's there. lawl

Spaceman Spiff 06-26-2009 03:41 PM

Here's the man with teeth like God's shoeshine
He sparkles, shimmers, shines
Let's all have another Orange Julius
Thick syrup, standing in lines
The malls are the soon to be ghost towns
Well, so long, farewell, goodbye

Mr. Pickle 06-26-2009 03:52 PM

Get the coooooool.

Get the cool shoeshine.

Good call. I like my stuff frothier, so I'd probably replace the milk with some heavy whipping cream and use a little less than I would the milk.

Triple sec....good calll.

[/B] Want to buy one of those for our band's merch stand, olol

FunkMetalBass 06-26-2009 04:24 PM

That'd be pretty sick.

I'd do the same for our band, but we only have 4 out of 8 songs completed and we wont even get around to recording the demo until mid-July.

fatbandit 06-26-2009 04:38 PM

To be honest, I doubt it'd fit in our cars unless we somehow acquired a new van :( I might buy it anyway if it doesn't get too expensive :p

I swear one of these days I'm going to come back and stay.

Foxfire 06-28-2009 01:37 PM

Okay fine, legit bass question...

I'm going to get a Cirrus BXP, I just can't decide between 4-string and 5. On one hand, I've always wanted to try a 5, ESPECIALLY with a 5" scale...On the other, 5 is kind of a goofy number.

Foxfire 06-28-2009 01:38 PM

Oh, and +1

fatbandit 06-28-2009 02:29 PM

Meh, I wouldn't try a 5" scale if I were you.

:amaze: 06-28-2009 05:36 PM

whats up yalls?

Foxfire 06-28-2009 06:33 PM

[QUOTE=fatbandit;17330157]Meh, I wouldn't try a 5" scale if I were you.[/QUOTE]

Dude, the high F sounds so sweet though.

Girl whatcho name iz

Moon Flavor 06-28-2009 06:39 PM

whoa foxfire i remember that dude vaguely

umm 5 strings are cool what do you mean a high F though... I certainly hope you're not talking about an F string?? :confused:
